    I’m all for a good wonkiness, but this is one of those things that when someone sees this they are going to say “Your O is falling off”, and then you will have to say, “It’s supposed to be that way”, and then they will say “Oh…..Ok”

    I love the IDEA of a wonky “O”, but I don’t think it fits with the feel of the quote it’s used in. More in a tongue-in-cheek type situation! But SO cute.

    I too like it a little wonky. Though I didn’t comment, I thought it added a little bit of the unexpected which is really the message of the sign…not to follow everyone else, but to follow your own path. The wonkiness sort of drives that message home. Really, though, if you’re following your heart, you need to just do what you feel is best and not cave to mass opinion from comments.

      Thanks, Elizabeth! I know which way I like it…just thought it might be fun to hear what my friends think, too! 😉

    I like it wonky too – I had the same thought yesterday when I read the post – looks so much more intriguing with the wonky-ness!

    I thought the wonky “O” was deliberate, and a visual play on the beginning of the phrase: “There is no set path…”, and I like it! But I like it straight, too.

    After seeing it straight forward, I would say make it wonky but adjust it where it’s not quite sitting on the lower letter. A little wonky as opposed to too wonky?

    I really thought the “O” was suppose to wonky the first time I saw it. It just makes the saying make sense to me. 🙂

    I love it wonky! To me the wonky O reinforces the sentiment much better than a straight or semi-wonky O. As a matter of fact, when I make this project I will make the O wonky….and resting on the letter underneath. Just following my heart…….

    I’ll play politician here and say, I like it both ways. Depends on the look you want- straight looks very calm and restful. Wonky follows the sentiment of the phrase, looks a little whimsical. I like wonky initially (ha!), but I think my ocd would cause me to have to straighten it.

    I’m sure glad that someone spoke up because I loved it wonky too! Who wants a path in life that’s straight and predictable? It’s the curves and the potholes that make it worth living!

    Wonky – for both O’s in ‘follow!’ Just to show the bumps in the path when you follow your heart! Sheesh leave it to me to be extra ‘wonky.’ 🙂

    That is so funny….I thought the wonky was better when I read your post yesterday…it actually bothers me when everything is straight and perfect! 😉

    If you found it that way in your “to-do” pile, then I think it was meant to be!! Wonky!!!

  33. Elizabeth

    I liked it when it was hanging down. It makes sense when you think of how journeys take unexpected turns.

  35. Pam the Goatherd

    I’m in the “I thought it was off-kilter on purpose” camp. The wonky way definitely fits the quote!

  38. Linda

    Wonky for sure – because that’s what life IS! Wonky, unpredictable and following its own path. I thought it was intentional too – thought maybe I’d copy it that way!!

  40. Amy

    Wonky. I actually thought the first picture was intentional. 🙂 looks like several other people thought the same. phew.

  41. Lori

    I totally agree with the “wonky” O. I thought the same thing when I saw it the first time. 🙂

  43. Jane Crawford

    I thought it was supposed to be “wonky” and was a bit disappointed when you “fixed” it. I looked at is advice to follow your heart even even it tkaes you off of the straight and narrow path.

  45. Sue Davies

    I like wonky because the path to following your dreams is not always smooth and perfect so I think it is appropriate. In fact I thought it was intentional the first time I saw it.

    Love it wonky. My thought is that following your heart isn’t always ‘straight’~~sometimes we take an unexpected twist or turn while on that path. XO <3

  49. hello haha narf

    squeeeeeeeeeeeee! you changed it! not sure if you are keeping it this way, but you know i love it. our hearts take us places that might not appear perfect, yet totally are. to me, the wonky o fits the phrase.

    whether or not you keep it, thanks for indulging us. xoxo
